Stop the Flu

You’ve found your “one-stop-shop” for up-to-date information on both seasonal and H1N1 flu, prevention tips, urgent outbreak data and our local health care options. Borgess has a full spectrum of services - all designed to serve YOUR health care needs with a patient-centered, quality care philosophy.

When it comes to seasonal flu and H1N1 or “swine flu” influenza, both illnesses have similar symptoms, but there are some key differences in how you can best protect yourself and your family. Most healthy people recover from either type of flu without problems, but certain people are at high risk for serious complications.

Here you will find a comprehensive array of information links, including:

• Access to top-notch health care if you do get a case of the flu
• Our full schedule of preventive flu shot clinics from Borgess VNA Home Care
• H1N1 Clinics in Kalamazoo County
• Comprehensive Web-based patient flu health-assessment program at AMAfluhelp.org
• The CDC and other sites to help you stay healthy and stay informed
• Please call and schedule your appointment today at ProMed Pediatrics. Based on availability.

At Borgess, we remain dedicated to caring for our southwest Michigan community. We will continue to post information here about the seasonal flu and H1N1 influenza as it becomes available.
